*description edited on June 18  2018*

Versions in reverse order of publication.

20180618_OpenAIRE2020_FP7PostGrantPilot_data.xlsx: update of the last dataset - status of 65 publications in progress changed to 'paid'. This has no significant influence on the statistical analysis already made, as the estimated data was already processed. 

20180331_OpenAIRE2020_FP7PostGrantPilot_data.xlsx  : These datasets contain all datasets related to the publications funded within the OpenAIRE FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot from its start in May 1st 2015 until February 28th 2018. The final report of the Pilot will be based on this dataset. 

20170831_DatasetD5.4.xlsx: This dataset contains all data related to the publications funded within the OpenAIRE FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot in the two first years of its run, from May 2015 until April 30, 2017. The Pilot has received an extension of 10 months. This dataset will receive an update after the Pilot has come to a definitive end (February 2018).

A final version will be added to this record once all remaining accounting is wrapped up (July 2018). However, we are confident that the numbers presented here show trends and averages adequately, even if the absolute numbers will still change slightly. 

The Pilot website can be found at : https://postgrantoapilot.openaire.eu

To be eligible, a publication needed to comply with the following conditions: 

• Part of FP7 project that has ended, but no longer than two years ago at the moment of acceptance of publication P
• ublished in an Open Access Journal - we do not accept publications in so-called hybrid journals, which are journals that make individual articles Open Access but remain subscription based as a whole 
• Maximum 3 publications per project
• The funding cap is € 2000 for articles and € 6000 for monographs.

Some author fees exceed this cap slightly due to currency conversion. Any other anomalies in this dataset are to be ascribed to human error. Some adjustments might have been made on accounting level that are not reflected in this dataset.
